Java State of the Union: InfoQ Trends Report December 2024
The InfoQ December 2024 Java Trends Report highlights key shifts in the Java ecosystem for 2025. Java 17 leads JDK adoption, but usage remains fragmented, with Java 11 and Java 8 close behind, and Java 21 showing faster, though still modest, growth.
Java has shed its legacy image, embracing innovation with WebAssembly adoption catching up to Go and Rust. The AI surge of early 2024 has given way to more focused, practical applications. Meanwhile, the new Commonhaus Foundation supports open-source Java projects with succession planning and funding, signaling a dynamic and sustainable future for Java.
